Reminder: The Iowa Jensen Reunion date has been changed from the weekend near July 4th to the weekend of July 15th since that is one week before the Ohio reunion. It makes it easier for familes who are attending both reunions.Thanks, Brenda, for the great idea!
The Jack Jensen family (Gary, Al, Dale and Brenda, et al) is coming to Iowa for the Danish Museum Reunion and then will go on to Ohio for the traditional one at Lake Erie.
I have heard from one other family about not being able to attend the Iowa reunion. Can I assume if you are not responding to the blog that you will call me to tell me your plans? It is time to find a motel for us to reserve. I need to know! 319-400-0688 or email jensen.judith@ iccsd.k12.ia.us
I just read a book about the dangerous and heroic work Danes did during World War II to protect many Jews and to resist their country's occupation by Germany. I felt so proud!

Little Evidence
Hello Family,
There is little evidence of interest in this year's Iowa Danish Immigrant Museum reunion to be held in July. (I am trying not to take it personally, so do not attribute any whining to me!) I know people are busy, some are technologically challenged and some may not be able to spare the time or energy to help us make plans. So we are making do with what information and interest we have:
The Jack Jensen tribe consisting of Brenda, Terry, Gary, Allen and Dale are considering coming, if we change the date from July 4th weekend to the weekend before the Ohio reunion.
The Bob Jensen tribe all agree and are fine with changing the date.
So, look to the right at the new time line. I will send out invitations next month with the correct date of July 15-17th on it. Please share this news with people who might be interested.
Remember as George burns said "Happiness is having a large,
loving, caring, close-knit family in another city."
